What Is Tube Bending?
Tube bending is a controlled forming process that shapes metal tubing into specific angles and radii without compromising strength, roundness, or wall thickness. Yicen Precision specializes in metal tube bending services und pipe bending services, producing smooth, accurate curves that maintain structural integrity for automotive, industrial, aerospace, and architectural components.
Tube Bending Technologies at Yicen Precision
1. CNC Tube Bending
Our advanced CNC machines offer precision within ±0.1 mm and create repeatable bends across large production runs. Ideal for rotary draw bending, complex geometries, and multi-step tube profiles.
2. Mandrel Tube Bending
Used for thin-wall and small-radius bending, mandrel insertion prevents wrinkling, ovality, and collapse. Essential for tight radius tube bending, exhaust systems, hydraulic tubing, and applications where smooth internal flow is critical.
3. Rotary Draw Bending
Rotary draw systems use precise dies to form consistent bends suitable for structural and decorative components. Perfect for multi-radius tube bending, aesthetic frames, furniture tubing, and engineered assemblies requiring clean, smooth finishes.
4. Multi-Radius Bending
Multiple CLR values can be formed in a single tube without welding or re-fixturing. This reduces assembly time and produces stronger, seamless components for complex structures.
5. Material-Adaptive Bending
Our equipment automatically adjusts pressure and speed for each material, ensuring optimal bending results whether working with:
- Stainless steel tube bending
- Aluminum tube bending
- Carbon steel, copper, or alloy tubing
This guarantees precise bends with minimal ovality and distortion.
What Are the Advantages of Tube Bending?
Flexibilität bei der Gestaltung
Tube bending eliminates multiple welds, enabling smooth, continuous geometries impossible through traditional fabrication. Perfect for modern structural designs, ergonomic components, and complex frames.
Superior Structural Strength
Seamless bends maintain material integrity and improve load resistance—critical for roll cages, frames, and load-bearing structures.
Kosteneffizienz
By reducing weld points and material waste, tube bending can cut production costs by 15–25% in high-volume manufacturing.
Improved Flow & Performance
Applications requiring fluid or air movement—hydraulic lines, ducts, exhaust systems benefit from reduced turbulence and optimized flow.
High Repeatability for Production
CNC-controlled bending ensures that every part is identical, supporting large-scale production with tight tolerances and consistent quality standards.
